The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the public’s help to identify a group of suspects involved in an armed robbery that occurred in Southeast D.C.

 On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at approximately 2:07 a.m., two victims were walking in the 1200 block of Sumner Road, Southeast, when they were surrounded by a group of armed suspects. One suspect pointed a handgun at the back of the first victim’s head and demanded property. When the second victim attempted to flee, they were struck in the head with a handgun.

 The suspects fled the scene after stealing property from both victims, including keys to a vehicle. The stolen vehicle was later recovered in Northeast D.C.

 Five of the suspects were captured by nearby surveillance cameras and are shown in the photos.

Anyone who can identify these suspects or who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
